No but only because I never played a Witcher game before...
I own all the games I don't have time to play them. Fuck!!!

No, even if Cyberpunk never existed, Witcher 3 was the only game CDPR made that was worth buying new and even that I bought 2 years later for $7 with all the DLC.
I really liked The Witcher 3. I also installed a bunch of mods to make it play and look better so the version I'm reviewing isn't even the actual game.

Fuck no. I pre-ordered Cyberpunk for my one x figuring it would run decent. Nope. Got a xsx to run it better, figured it would get a patch this year as promised. Nope. So fuck no.
Hell yea.
Sure, they've lost some goodwill with Cyberpunk. But that's a bit like Elon Musk losing a $100 bill. There's still plenty left.
W3 remains my GOAT. There's a good chance Witcher4 won't be able to live up to that. But it's nearly impossible it'd be so bad that it wouldn't be worthwhile spending 50 quid or whatever for.

No. What’s the point? It’s not like theyre gonna run out of digital copies to sell. Preordering anything is dumb when you know it will be there for you day 1 if you want it.

I normally I only preorder FromSoftware Miyzaki games, Kojima games, 1st party Nintendo and Playstation games and some odd games games like Resident Evil etc. Some indies too

Unfortunately the npcs and vehicles in cyberpunk are broken. They should have hired someone who made an open world driving game before. I am currently playing my old gta 3 copy and the car and npcs behave better than the ones in cyberpunk. There's a disconnect between the open world and the missions. If they fix this missing link, they will fix the game.

W3 is my goat a well. I loved it. I have posters on my wall, art books in my bookshelf, music CDs, game copies on all platforms etc, multiple ps4 copies etc... That's why I pre-ordered Cyberpunk... That went well...

Never preorder ever. Always make people prove their product's worth. Any company can become a hero or a rotten egg at the flip of a coin. Developers come and go and leadership changes. Don't pay people for unfinished work.
And I say this as a rather large fan of the Witcher series.

CDPR had a bulletproof reputation. They were like the old Google slogan - "don't be evil". Cyberpunk was hyped beyond measure. They have a looong way to go to redeem themselves.

Don't preorder any games unless you're getting something compelling for dropping money on a product sight-unseen.

Nah. I didn’t preorder Witcher 3. I played the 360 version of 2 while waiting 6 months after launch to get W3 when it was a little cheaper, it was still buggy as fuck on Xbox, so I took it back. Waited a couple years and got it on sale with the DLC for a decent price and it was mostly patched up by then and had HDR on Xbox One S. Had a good time. Didn’t preorder CP2077 either, but got it for $20 on sale a couple months ago.
I didn’t really like the game that much so I took it back. Probably won’t get it again even if they manage to ever get the next gen version out. I would be cautiously optimistic about a Witcher 4 at best despite enjoying 2 and 3.

I rarely do. But like any game, it depends on how the pre launch coverage is handled. 2077 was obviously gonna have problems, we just didn't expect that many problems.

I don't think i'll pre order anything again. ESP. Witcher 4 with its 50 patches and dlc... I'll take the complete version.

Or if it's a limited run print, ala limited run games or super rare games. So technically i'll still pre order those lol.No. Never Pre-order games. What you get when you pre-order:
- The worst version of the game
- The most expensive game
This true for all games. Only reason to pre-order would be if you play online and want to unlock the game so you can play it properly.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Didn't like Witcher 3 all that much and Cyberpunk's release was a shit show, so no.

I only pre-order the moment i know i like the game anyway. Like a new AC game. I know what to expect from it.
Same goes for age of empire 4 and battlefield, i know what i get into.
For witcher 4. as cdpr is king of bullshit trailers, i rather wait on its release and see how it goes.

Don't ever pre order software, its not needed. Sometimes you might get a huge benefit such as a free Season pass or something. Then you could consider it but otherwise don't. Games won't be sold out ever, and can always be purchased digitally unless pulled lol.
Mostly I would buy a game later on, and still get the pre order bonuses anyway.

WIth Day 1 being digital, there has never been less incentive to pre-order something.

I'd wait for the Game of the Year Edition that goes for 15 bucks with a shitload of mods at my disposal at that time of that release.

CDPR games are to be bought when they are available for 10$ or less and fully patched.
No. But I don't typically preorder digital games because there's no reason to with fast internet. But it if it reviewed well up to release. . .absolutely would purchase. CP77 is one of the best narrative experiences I've played and a pretty fun first person shooter - warts and all.

I would have to be a fool to Pre-order games (regardless of publisher), after all these high-profile disasters in the last 10 years.

Stop pre-ordering.
It's by far and away the best way to get the industry to change. If it sees it has to put out a decent quality game BEFORE we all buy it, then standards will rise.
Seriously. Stop pre-ordering.

No, i stopped pre ordering games a while a go now, and the state of Cyberpunk, GTA def edition and the new Battlefield on release is the reason why, that doesn't mean i'm not looking forward to the game though, i love the Witcher 3, great game.
